Trecini Cellars

A family owned winery producing wines from vineyards in Sonoma County. Started in 1994 by John and Cathy Vicini who initially sold their own Russian River Valley grapes. By 1999 they had started their own label, Trecini, representing the three Vicinis (John, Cathy and their son David). Five varietals are offered including Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Zinfandel.

The winemaker is veteran Dan Barwick.

A tasting room is open Mon-Fri in downtown Santa Rosa at 441 Beaver Street. The wines are available through the online store.
